Robotics Regional Championship hosted by OCTC, Dec. 5th

Owensboro Community and Technical College is hosting a FIRST Lego League (FLL) real-world
robotics competition on Saturday, Dec. 5 for students in grades 4-8. FLL is an international
robotics competition that introduces younger students to real-world engineering challenges
by building LEGO-based robots to complete tasks on a thematic playing surface. FLL
teams, guided by their imaginations and adult coaches, discover exciting career possibilities
and, through the process, learn to make positive contributions to society. This years
theme, FLL Trash Trek, is focused on smart production and reuse of trash. Teams will
teach adults about the ways that kids need and want to learn.

Owensboro Community amp; Technical College, NASA Kentucky, Domtar, and AMTEC are sponsoring
this years event. For more information about OCTCs FIRST Lego League competition,
